Stephen Ministry

It is our responsibility as a body to equip ourselves in God's Word that we may minister to or be ministered to by others.  It is not acceptable for us to leave the work of ministry to the body of Christ to the ordained priesthood or the pastoral staff alone.  Galatians 6:2 instructs us to  "bear one another's burdens" and so fulfill the law of Christ.  We are a body; in good times, bad times, the happy and the sorrowful times.  When we are in need, I Thessalonians 5:11 instructs us "therefore, encourage one another and build each other up."
